nine pm thursday evening here in moscow you're most welcome just joined us this is r.t. and it's kevin owen here starting off this hour protesters have attacked the u.s. embassy in the capital of yemen they clashed with police who then opened fire to disperse that mob two people reportedly killed and several wounded in those clashes but it is the latest u.s. diplomatic mission to come under attack in response to the american film poking fun at islam. got the latest for you. turmoil in the arab world spread to yemen on thursday after hundreds possibly even thousands of protesters stormed the u.s. embassy in the capital there just two days after the american ambassador to libya was killed and protesters tried to take the embassy and cairo now when it comes to to yemen witnesses on the ground reported live ammunition being shot by security forces into the air one reporter i spoke to actually said that there was an injury someone was injured in the head by one of those rounds from the air security forces
1:02 pm
also used tear gas and water cannons according to eyewitness reports we also heard the protesters were able to breach one of the outer perimeters of the american embassy there setting fire to vehicles before the setting fire to one building and also tearing down according to eyewitness reports the u.s. flag and replacing it with another flag there while it does seem that the situation has been more or less in control so far it really is an unstable sort of environment and we do know that aside from this controversial video which really sparked the protests drone strikes in that country have really pitted the people versus u.s. foreign policy interests in yemen besides yemen we've seen protests erupt in in the gaza where protesters burned an american flag more or less peaceful protests in iran as well as protests in the wrong on the topic of iraq we also had the leader one of the leaders of an iraqi militia there saying that american interests in that
1:03 pm
country are. in danger or as on the count of the film we've also seen a very popular in. posters twitter accounts of call for protesters to gather on thursday evening i'll side of the american embassy there so it remains to be seen how that situation will play out and of course the one to really watch is going to be afghanistan and we know that you tube has tried to block access to that video in afghanistan as well as in libya and egypt but if people really do catch on to this we could see some unprecedented levels of. this is according to some of the people some of the reporters that i've spoken to on the ground in kabul libyan situation is a little bit different from the other countries where we've seen where of course the libyan protesters are the libyan people who are against the government of moammar gadhafi had really welcomed us intervention called western intervention to help them overthrow the former leader and they are but this iteration in libya is really escalating in the sense that the u.s. president has promised to send a team of marines to the ground to reinforce the security situation there we've
1:04 pm
also heard that u.s. who are destroyers are unable we're going to be sent to that area supposedly to help with potential humanitarian assistance and evacuations of that of course remains to be seen how that will work out and also reports of unmanned surveillance drones potentially being deployed according to president obama in libya to help them supposedly hunt down the people responsible for these attacks although it's really quite unclear how that's going to play out. the latest of proof from across the muslim world that's happening right now before correspond loosely caffein of on twitter now this construct of course one of purpose to get his take on the purpose even to you. clinton's condemn the controversial film the spot the protests in washington is going to do with it what impact do you think the words will have on the muslim world tonight. well. tell the world everything. from the beginning. to make the rebels we're.
1:05 pm
going to go the research was leading from. there all knew george. so this is basically bolduc we've seen warning about this for over a year and blowback will happen in the libya and egypt even all across the muslim world in will extend to other parts of the muslim what happened. absolutely. the groom who all the production of two thousand and eleven and two muslim enunciate the prophet mohammed introduction it's maybe a catalyst but the most important thing is something that i really want to my latest story and. i'm going howso we are to come in memory. the style nine eleven he issued the audio and me to killing by a droll tree months ago it was there. which was
1:06 pm
a kind is number two for the best of months and he says by accident that what happened you libya. with the owls and the and with it levinson of course nine eleven so this is down to expand because they're making the rebels there a lot of salafi jihad is implanted with them. rebels into turkey ships syria are also confess that it would stop the jihad these the same happens in yemen and the u.s. has been in bed with them from the beginning just like the uk and she hasn't denied it it's so what the blowback lasted it to either sort of go back to apply in afghanistan it had been only in the late ninety's or these dolls these latest attacks now though on the diplomatic missions need ships in libya where they planned weeks ago some people are saying that if so who planned those particular attacks. it could be terrorists of course we all know there's an acronym gang
1:07 pm
infested al-qaeda salafi jihad style and chrome the image on google let's put it this way in the. arabian peninsula you know course there are remnants or the so-called reform libyan islamic fighting group l i f g abdulhakim job is a commander. in lead as well as one of many militias the most powerful he also has a political position in. but the most important thing is that these salafi jihadists who are not part of the power structure in tripoli they want still of their agenda is a caliphate in eastern libya in syria not going ot my ex india jetpack was in benghazi and the same happens to this a lot of wage jihad is in egypt who got twenty five percent of the votes in a presidential election in egypt and a soffit jihad is in yemen as well so decrees acing is doable administration middle
1:08 pm
east policy basically now is let's align ourselves with muslim brotherhood ok there are other it's they may be moderates in egypt they are not moderates in syria any leader of the muslim brotherhood is spite of the good but at the same time they have to contend with soffit jihad as were outside so what's going to be the response of the moment ministration i predict sort of that to be drilled into this and where are they these off the jihad is they're basically there are cells of benghazi scattered around in the desert so i have a lot of drawing in that are in the next few days and weeks to what extent are these protests against the american film good night key players from the muslim world what one of occasions is i'm going to have for the region now let's just think about this film and the revocations of that. yeah this is this is a very similar to the episode of the danish cartoons about prophet mohammed what
1:09 pm
strikes me in it death is that people like duels need evil saudi shakes that every week the issue of to us moral as. the citing people to peel alawite sincere and drawls and message are all alawite already show now five to us to ok for less organized protests so guess this is this a creation of islam why they don't see absolutely anything about the key crucial issue for. arabs and muslims all over the roll which is the upper tide states in dallas the condition of the policy and the limb or say in this ng about that if you have occurred to me over stupid american movie made in california by. an institution cocked by the way he. has been israeli with the israeli donors hateful crude production we have does remain kitchens all longer than i grabbed the middle east and beyond the reach of central asia and afghanistan wake up the problem
1:10 pm
that's not the problem the problem is some of the palestinian situation which will so stop the problems that the rage last so all the work what kind of america do is a p.r. offensive now or is it to try to shut the stable doze off the whole horse has bolted . it's a bit silly kevin you know months before the election is very calculated the idea about you ministration from now whoa nice to see it's your election day don't want that discussion about the middle eastern policy they don't want between us discussing is the muslim brotherhood an ally of america or not obama himself has actually already said ok egypt is our ally but it's it's not our enemy but it's not disaster oh or whatever elyse like israel or south korea or japan for that they're the ones who get in broil in a discussion and deadhouse that the republicans also don't have
1:11 pm
a middle eastern policy so if you look at comments that wrongly midi aster they accuse me of you know go the research of the whole say no they're rather station squat in the crossfire because they don't even know who they are allied with in the middle east any more. thoughtful times correspondent pepe escobar there thank you let me tell me carro where the first protests in a series of anti american rides flared up demonstrations have evolved into heavy clashes with police authorities have been trying to drive protesters away from the u.s. embassy with buttons and tear gas but they've met face resistance over two hundred twenty people have been injured so far the local journalist she's at the st she reports from the egyptian capital. people are extremely angry that the demographic of the group seems to have changed slightly from cheese day which was a very sort of conservative islamist group and they seem to be younger possibly football fans the hockey football fans but it's not yet confirmed the police have cordoned off the whole area the whole street near the u.s.
1:12 pm
embassy sections towards to here and basically just trying to secure the area and i'm attacking protesters with the tickets to me i mean i don't think this protest has any has any signs of actually stopping we know we've got a different protest organized on friday actually called for by the muslim brotherhood against this particular film which seems to have inflamed people in the middle east and other moment i can't really see any signs of stopping because now people are upset with the way the police have dealt with the matter because of the levels of violence there has been a fair amount of criticism of morsi recently because he actually didn't make any official statements about the deaths of the u.s. ambassador in libya yesterday and was very slow on the uptake in regards to that people are asking him really to come home and maybe the situation here as the violence escalates but so far he really hasn't done that much other than asking people for to peacefully protest and continuing along with his jobs and the u.s. government had no took no part in the making of this film this obscure film which
1:13 pm
people take days to work out where it's really coming from i'm not even sure that an apology from the u.s. government might people are asking for would really stop the protest right now because it seems to escalate into a police versus protest fight some people if they're angry with the way the police is still using the same tactics when the minute you were in power as they are now with the supposedly civilian government really i'm not really sure how this is going to come down particularly with continued protests in yemen as well as across the middle east towards this film. president putin strongly condemned the killing of the u.s. ambassador in libya have a reset governments must speak strongly cautious when dealing with religious sensitivities as. russian leaders reaction to. can also this a go at telus said a bit more about what he had to say the. president was encouraging them to this wave of anti american violent protests in the middle east and northern africa and said how important it is for everyone to unite in the battle against explode stream
1:14 pm
is one of the scenes are and what sort of personnel that is the responsibility of every state and governments to protect the feelings of believes of all religions from being offended. because he does if history doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated and the salted ones start to defend their own interests and sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed you can feel the region can fall into chaos with you which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and statesmen that underwent serious changes year to shoot that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which was the picture. we've also heard from u.s. state secretary hillary clinton the whole condemns the film the controversial film which has caused to this wave of violence but at the same time she said that the u.s. government will never stop its citizens from voicing their personal views no matter
1:15 pm
how disgusting or anti stall they are in the meantime up huge discussion has started in the internet on where is the line between freedom of speech and responsibility since clearly just one move by either one person or a small group of people kill you two massive and sometimes even dreadful consequences or they can thank you for that no doubt see dot com we're closely monitoring the a violent protest sparked in the arab world by the end his logic american film there you'll find updates on the demonstrations and international reaction to the violence along with the latest videos where those protests are currently ongoing. other news now tonight there's outrage in the stonier over a mock advertisement showing i'm a cia to prisoners at a concentration camp the magazine that published it says the ads just
1:16 pm
a joke but alexia jet ski reports now that the country has a record of elevating its nazi past. a prank which went terribly wrong in a story a newspaper asked to express posted a picture of prisoners of a nazi death camp book involved with a text one two three dr mengele spills will do wonders for you there were no fat men in book involve this reference to a man who was responsible for more than forty thousand deaths in nine hundred forty s. nazi death camps certainly has caused uproar both in the stone here and abroad with the local jewish community and simon wiesenthal center both accusing the newspaper off of making a joke out of a huge tragedy and a massive loss of human lives the newspaper itself tried to justify this picture by saying that this was simply a joke in response to an earlier incident when a gas heating company in a stoney a posted a picture off at the entrance to another nazi death camp auschwitz with an
1:17 pm
advertisement of the heating system saying that their heating systems were reliable and very efficient many experts and political analysts have been very critical of the fact that such things happen in a more than democratic state a member of the european union and this prank by the newspaper and the advertisement by the gas company forced the country's foreign minister to bring his apologies for those incidents he said that he felt very ashamed to be estonian if his country's newspapers allow themselves such jokes with the use of the human tragedy still many have been questioning how sincere those apologies were because a stone has a record of dealing with the events of the past and particularly with nazis and in its own way several of the veterans who were fighting alongside the not situated in the 1940's in the so-called baltic legion were made the national heroes in the
1:18 pm
stony off to the collapse of the soviet union so this latest. and certainly adds more fuel to the fire in this ongoing story of how the soviet baltic states have been dealing with naziism and have been dealing with the perception of the past this incident this latest incident also caused indignation from the russian foreign ministry which said that this again shows how some power in the story and some of the ordinary population are dealing with things which were which are considered to be tragic and which are considered to be inhumane by the most of the world by most of the morning. if you listen we think of this story online along with all the others hit the discussion but the other stories you'll find right now out of this world was in fact ready to roll on the red planet the curiosity rover is being read for the next stage of its hunt for traces of life. being brought by the earth as

1:20 pm
center right parties the labor and the liberal party of the prime minister margaret are having said that though the fact that the campaign has brought out a lot of voter sentiment that didn't exist before having centrist government right now does not mean that those questions on whether they should keep helping the greeks for example or whether we should continue the way it has been in a draconian fashion following the german lead the plan for europe those questions will not just go away given even if they still have a centrist government right now so i think what will happen here is the most logical is that the labor and liberal which is a top two and biggest parties here will my former coalition in this sense it's only a practical however the question is there are differences in their approach to europe should they give more money to greece or should they follow the three percent of cuts drastic draconian fashion these are points that will definitely have disagreements and stability there is questionable and therefore the dutch may
